The cold wave continues in Córdoba: in Río Cuarto, the temperature was -10 ºC

Winter shows no mercy, and minimum temperatures are below 0 ºC (32 ºF) in much of the province

The polar wave that continues to affect much of the country is hitting Córdoba particularly hard.

In the Mediterranean province, the lowest temperatures of the year are being recorded this week, which has caused school attendance to not be mandatory on either Monday or Tuesday.

Even a union considered requesting the suspension of classes.

The south and west of Córdoba, where the sierras are located, are the hardest-hit areas, although it was also extremely cold in the center and east.

In almost the entire province, temperatures were below 0 °C (32 °F).
